Weird, it works for me. Even if you go to http://vgy.me/FehQSv.png directly? What's the exact error you get?

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

Yeah, I just thought it was funny how the TIE fighter symbols look like lols.

It's also up on iTunes Canada for those who may watch it that way as a Seasons pass.

I loved the Tie Fighter game - I played the hell out of that on my first pc, it was great with headphones.

[LinearPhilosopher]

It's gina torres!

Phenomenal actress, glad shes getting more roles

[Abyss]

Watched the first two eps (bringing back Rex)... that was fun!
Neat to see the AT-ATs, even better to watch the clones and their old Walker go on the attack... outnumbers, outgunned, outdated....fuckit, CHARGE!
...Rex rallying Wolf, Wolf howling and pulling the walker back into the fight... SO MUCH AWESOME.

Also, "you got old".... DAMN ALLERGIES.

Someone remind me tho'.... were Wolf and Gregor ever in CLONE WARS?

Yeah, Rex and Ahsoka's reuniting scene is full of ninja's cutting onions.

As to your second query:
Yes, Wolfe was Jedi Master Plo Koon's Clone Trooper squad leader.

And

And Gregor was an Arc Trooper who lost his memory at a battle with separatist forces, and ended up a dishwasher on a backwater world before having it restored. As an Arc trooper he didn't serve under one particular Jedi master like Wolfe or Rex.

Neither has mention of if and when they were present and included in Order 66. But the Trooper who takes out Plo Koon in ROTS is definitely NOT Wolfe.

And we know that by the time ROTS rolled around Rex had left his position for one reason or another (the commander of the 501st at the point where Anakin raids the Jedi Temple and they slaughter everyone is Commander Appo).

I wonder at what point they removed their chips? Like did Rex do it all the way back during the Clone Wars?

Neat, tnx QT.

Odd that they went to two minor clones rather than members of Rex's squad who appeared more often like Cody.

Gregor was basically Hardcase without the minigun.

[QuickTidal]

I think the aim was to show that it was odd that Clones would go against their original "programming" (for lack of a better term) at a level that meant that any gathering of them post-Clone Wars would mean that they were largely un-associated previously.

Though the fact that two of the three were Clone Trooper commanders who were directly under Jedi Master's from the Council may show that leadership roles perhaps allowed a more nuanced ideal of what they were doing with their clone lives...perhaps even enough to bail out on those ideals?

I full feel like we will get the story of how these three came together later this season.

Oh man tonight's episode was hands down the best of the series for me! That's how you do a SW show!

Spoiler

Kan and Rex were badass. Ezra was unstoppable. His power is growing fucking fast. Chopper once again stole the show with his holographic show. I loled so hard at that. Once again this show made me long to play X Wing with that Interdictor ship. The parallels of this show and ANH were great. Great fun tonight!

Do you read comic books? The latest Darth Vader series is really, really awesome. Especially the Vader Down event.

Fans of CW will bust a nut on tonight's episode im sure!

Warning major episode spoilers

Spoiler

Nice saber action! Asoka's white blades are fucking cool and even though she uses 2 she holds one backwards like she did in CW witch makes for a great new style. There was references to Cad Banes stealing Force babies. I'm still severely underwhelmed by new baddies... 7th Sister made a mothering comment that I think people will pick up on that think she is new Mara Jade type character

Spoiler

the backwards lightsaber did make my cringe but i didn't let it get in the way of enjoying the show and how easily asokha beat them

[Traveller]

That was good stuff.

What are the theories on where Ahsoka is by ANH? I can't believe they're building these characters just to have Vader kill them off, even though that seems like the most likely fate.

[QuickTidal]

So the Canadian feeds jumped up to catch up with the US over the last week. My iTunes Seasons Pass suddenly made the last three eps available, so I binged them in one go.

Spoiler

One of them was that one which was basically a recreated ANH (the one that BK liked above). Ezra's badassery was SO GOOD...but the best bit about it was...it was anger-based. Ezra's extra badassery came from him tapping into the Dark Side. This was revisited in the even BETTER lightsaber VS Stormtroopers and force shoving Khallus episode LEGACY. Which was (I found out) the mid-season finale...show isn't back till early 2016.



LOVED Ahsoka VS 7th and 5th in FUTURE OF THE FORCE, which is totally a companion piece (as noted by BK) to the CW episode CHILDREN OF THE FORCE. The Emperor is seemingly OBSESSED with capturing force sensitive babies. I wonder if that will help Ahsoka put it together that the Emperor is the same Sith lord who toppled both the Jedi Order and the Republic from little nuggets like this. Speaking of Cad Bane...what are the odds we see him at some point on REBELS? I say high. Also, Ahsoka's skills are masterlike now. I ADORED the moment where she put away her lightsabers, and used the force to contain the 7th Sister and calmly stopped her that way. IMPRESSIVE. Not even Obi-Wan could have done something like that. Maybe Yoda...

Two things I NEED to see:

1. Rex coming face to face with his old Jedi (Anakin) and the realization of who he's become. That will be heartbreaking for him.
2. Ahsoka figuring out who Vader is...that will be EVEN more heartbreaking.

I feel that both of those things will help shape the person Vader needs to be to get to his moment in ROTJ when he turns back to the good side.

Lastly, Ezra letting go after learning of his parents fate and crying in Kanan's arms (SO emotional)...followed by the end shot mirroring ANH with Ezra gazing off to Lothal's twin Moon-set. Just beautiful altogether.

Ahsoka and Vader.. can't wait for that.

I haven't finished CW yet so I don't know how they eventually parted - or if it even happened before the show ended.

Just caught up with the latest. Ezras rage was interesting.
As was the ending

Spoiler

I thought they'd string out the search for his parents for much longer, good to see the less predictable route taken

(Also I got to watch it on our new 4k tv we've got for Christmas - I was just, you know, making sure it worked.
Rebels looked.. awesome, can't wait to try some blurays. And Fallout 4)

Re: TCW, Ahsoka's final arc (Last arc in Season 5) on the show is arguably one of my faves in the whole run (barring probably the Obi-Wan & Satine stuff)...I won't say more, just that you are in for a treat.

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

These seasons are too short.

[Abyss]

All caught up.


I like these new Inquisitors, they're fun baddies. Asoka throwing down on both of them was wholly awesome dipped in awesomesauce.

Also liking the way they're developing Ezra, not just his relationship with Kannan, but generally. He's not a one note 'Disney kid' character at all.

Hera flying the B-wing was pure fan glee moment.

I stand by my view that Chopper, not Zeb, is the Chewbacca of this series.

[QuickTidal]

Sweet. Merciful. Jeebus.



EDIT:

Spoiler

Huh, turns out that Kylo Ren's crossguarded saber comes from an earlier Jedi design which we see Ezra wielding in green.
